Crown Lengthening- Including functional and
smile makeover: aesthetic crown lengthening and advanced procedures to fix GUMMY
SMILE): A broken that may not have not tooth showing in the mouth could still
be rescued. Crown lengthening procedure is usually a simple procedure of
reducing either both or one of the tissue surrounding the tooth (Soft and hard
tissue). Bone and/or gum tissue may be removed to allow more tooth structure
above the gum line for a crown (or cap). Sometimes cavities can extend deep
below the gum line and can be impossible to clean out and fill without an
additional procedure called crown lengthening. Alternatively, failure to
perform crown lengthening can sometimes result in the placement of filling or
crowns so deep under the gums that is may become a chronic source of pain,
inflammation, and discomfort.

Exposure of Impacted Canine: Sometimes missing
teeth in teens could remain stuck under the bone and the gum. Similarly, to
wisdom teeth, canines (the eye teeth) are impacted and may require surgical
exposure to access the tooth and pull it into proper alignment with
orthodontics. In coordination with the orthodontics and with the use of
different radiograph modalities, we can identify exactly where the tooth
located for perfect exposure, ensuring that the tooth is surrounded by healthy
bone and gum.

Flap Surgery/ Osseous Surgery: Gum disease is a
progressive disease that occurs when excessive plaque and tartar buildup around
the tooth attract bacteria. Scientifically we usually say, “Gum disease is
caused by biofilm and host response”. It has been shown that more than 75% of
Americans have some level of gum disease and only some end up seeking
treatment. People who smoke and diabetics are at higher risk of developing this
disease. If left untreated, gum disease can destroy the supporting structures
around your teeth which may eventually lead tooth loss. Even though not painful
because of it chronic nature, gum disease has been linked to cancer, diabetes,
heart conditions, Alzheimer, rheumatoid arthritis and cardiovascular diseases. This is a preventable and treatable
condition but there is no cure. We offer advanced periodontal therapy such
as osseous/flap surgery and non-surgical to get gum disease under control.
